BICYCLE COMPONENTS
Wheels
Wheels should be centered in fork. Whenever you hear any irregular noise from the
wheels or the brakes, the wheels should be checked and repaired. Wheels should be
checked regularly for alignment. Wheels should rotate smoothly without wobbling from
side to side. Check the bearing play of the hubs by lifting the bicycle and spinning the
wheel. The wheel should continue to spin for several turns and finally cease spinning.
To check the play of the hubs, try to move the rim from side to side between the forks.
During this test, no substantial play should exist. If you detect play or if the wheel is
difficult to turn, the hub bearings must be adjusted. Please contact a local bicycle dealer
to have the hub bearings adjusted or call the IES Service Department at 1-866-726-
6856.
Throttle
Your throttle is located on the right hand side of your handlebar. Because it is a variable
speed throttle it is easily adaptable to any situation. You are always in control of your
speed. One of the most important features of the Intrepid is the power shut
down mechanism incorporated into the right brake lever. Every time the
right brake lever is compressed, the power from the motor is discontinued.
Rims
The rims must be smooth and without cracks, breaks or bulges.
Tires
Inflate your tires to the pressure embossed on the sidewall before the first use of your
new bike. The recommended pressure for the Intrepid is 40-PSI.
Every time you ride, make sure that the tires are inflated according to pressure indicated
on tire sidewall. Improper tire pressure will cause excessive wear, causing premature
replacement. Low tire pressure will also make riding more difficult. The tire should be
properly seated in the rim and the fitting of the tire bead and rim bead should be
checked. If the tube is pinched between the tire and the rim, it will fail when inflated.
Ensure that the tire is not cracked or unevenly worn. Check for bulges. Check that the
valve is straight in the rim. Irregular tires should be replaced immediately.
Handlebar and display
We have created and designed this handlebar assembly so that everything you need is
within easy reach and sight while riding.
CAUTION: LOOSE OR DAMAGED GRIPS ON YOUR HANDLEBARS ARE
DANGEROUS. IF YOUR GRIP COMES OFF, YOU COULD LOSE CONTROL
OF YOUR BICYCLE. A GRIP WITH THE END MISSING CAN ALLOW
HANDLEBARS TO SERIOUSLY INJURE A RIDER DURING AN ACCIDENT.
PLEASE CHECK THAT BOTH HANDLEBAR ENDS ARE PLUGGED. BE
SURE THAT YOUR GRIPS ARE IN GOOD REPAIR AND SECURELY GLUED
OR FASTENED TO THE HANDLEBARS.
